Description
A Wakefield man has been sentenced to 12 years in jail after being found guilty of the rape of a teenage girl.
Awais Hamed, aged 30, of Watson Crescent, Wakefield, was found guilty following a trial at Grimsby Crown Court of one count of rape of a female over 16 years and one count of assault by penetration against the same female victim who was a teenager at the time.
Appearing before the court again today, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register.
The court was told the victim had been plied with cocaine, heroin and alcohol before the offences which took place in Wakefield in December 2022.
Hamed gave his victim the money to buy drugs.
This prosecution follows a complex investigation by Wakefield District’s Child Vulnerable to Exploitation Team (CVET).
Another man, Nadeem Hussain, 47, was jailed last year for offences committed against the same victim as part of the wider investigation.
